Hmm, this is interesting. What you say makes sense... except.... you can be functional without END at 0. You can still do some stuff. INT down to 0? Or EDU if that is memory? I'd think you'd be inviable to function well before 0. Maybe INT and EDU should be treated differently?

It's an errata for the MgT2 Core Rules version (c 2016). The Erratum has its own Erratum... https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KGXOR7pGnJBv-Qx_TvFbXrndZRHg9BDMNtljJrI-t58/edit This doc supposedly contained all of the Errata up until 28-Sep-2018. I don't have the 2022 MgT2. The world has kept...

This was marked in a document as [Official] for MgT2. Read the sentence. Does it not appear that there should be a number or range following the word "reaches"? e.g. A proper answer would be "If a mental characteristics reaches {0, 1, 3-, whatever!, pick one!}, make the player roleplay it. The...

It has started strong arming many companies to sign onto the new OGL with short timelines (ludicrously so) and they clearly have tried to get away with claiming OGL 1.2 will be 'irrevocable' and then they went ahead and redefined the world irrevocable in a very limited way which isn't at all...

One of the Cepheus creators did not feel that your 'solution' was at all workable and had a fairly clear explanation of why. I have no idea if it's true or not. They do seem to be concerned about legal entanglements if something like the SRD 5.1 does not get moved into an open license that...

I'm sad to say that I feel Mongoose has left me down. I expected better, but it appears that's not what is happening. It appears that a number of Cepheus creators are worried about WoTC recinding the OGL 1.0a which the MgT1 SRD 5.1 has been using and the plan is not to move that SRD forward...

Thanks for that great information! I don't know exactly how different it is in effect vs. CS (which I have dealt with). I did gas hut training and we were supposed to use something like 2 pellets and I think the *gentlemen* in charge put all they had left in (6-8). I was feeling smart and...

Well Played, Condottiere. That image is spectacular. We probably didn't imagine a lot of details and some larger techs, but we expected others that we could imagine that haven't happened as fast as expected or others that may still not be feasible (period).

Let me second less-lethal weapons. I don't have my CSC handy, but I've created a variety of less lethal methods for other game systems. Less Lethal Weapons Conductive Energy Weapons (Tasers and Stun Guns) Shock administering gloves (Shock Gloves) - stun damage Dazzlers (lasers that pulse in...

Once you can go sub-dermal, you can probably also wire the input directly to a neural cluster at the base of the brain and you can just *think* what you want dictated and you can just *see* images without any external display. I love tactile keyboards vs. typing on screens because I never...

Why do important people have the biggest desk and the cleanest? Because the desk *isn't* about having room to do work, its about showing who is the big kahuna. As for actual dictation, that's what a bot or a human assistant handles. Nothing as pedestrian as a pen! And if you are important...

I've always wanted to add an app for the games I GM in Traveller and other games that would do the following: If you use a skill in the game, or are expected to definitely have done so in down times, then you don't lose anything. If you train or use skills a lot, you may slowly gain more...

Depends a lot on the type of learning. For instance, the kinesthetic memory you develop doing immediate action drills may have more traction than something you read in a university course and then didn't need other than for the exam. I know when I came out of school, I probably had: Math-2...

One advantage some carrying wheel guns sometimes mention: When there is decent lighting, when you face a foe in close proximity, he can *see* the rounds chambered and knows you aren't pointing an empty gun. There's a bit of a visceral reality to staring down the round that might kill you. When...

They promised we'd be living on the moon by the 1980s and by the 1970s we'd be all flying to work in aircars. We still aren't doing either of those things.
